Wich Datatype?
May 5, 2006
Hi Group,
Wich datatype can I best use for a number with several decimals (can be anything between 1 and e.g.10)
If the number has 10 decimals the customer needs the EXACT numbers. They couldn't explain why....
TIA
Regards,
Sander

SELECT Top 5 *
FROM TestnetCampaign a, TestnetAds b
WHERE a.campaignid = b.campaignid
AND b.sizeid = 21
AND (
a.interesttarget LIKE '10,%'
OR a.interesttarget LIKE '%,10,%'
OR a.interesttarget LIKE '%,10'
)
AND (
a.interesttarget NOT LIKE '78,%'
OR a.interesttarget NOT LIKE '%,78,%'
OR a.interesttarget NOT LIKE '%,78'
)
ORDER BY a.ecpc DESC

I kow for a solid comparison between using datareaders and datasets I will have to perform that myself. But for now I will be utilizing datasets...
What I am doing is currently utilizing assemblies to create my datasets ahead of time. I will eventually compile them as dlls. I'm just utilizing assemblies during my building/testing fase.
My questions is:
Is it faster to completely build the datasets and all needed connections inside the assemblies/dlls and fill them? Or to build the datasets and connections as a sub procedure that can be accessed and then fill them as each required set of data is needed?
I ask because I will be having many different data connections and so I'm not sure if it's faster to explicitly build/fill almost each and every one and have them compiled at runtime ready to be accessed, or to file them when called from a sub etc...?
As I take it, the server should track and monitor which are used the most, and cache them, so as to operate faster. I wonder if it will still do this if the datasets aren't pre-filled?

Hi,
I have a table customer wich has the columns phone_number(char type) and ok_to_call(bit type). There are already data in the table and the column ok_to_call only contains the value false for every row.
Now i want to update the latter column. I have a text file with a list of phone numbers and i want that all the rows in the Customer table(phone_number column)that matches the number in the text file to update ok_to_call to true.
This is to be done in SSIS(Integration Services). I'm new at this and i've looked around that tool but is a lot of items, packages and stuff so i dont know where to begin.
Would appreciate help on how to solve this issue in SSIS. What controlflow/Data flows to use,wich items and packages to use, how to configure and how to link together?
Regards
/Tomas

Good afternoon,
I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]
@sourceSystem varchar(50),
@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT
AS
insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);
SELECT @txOut = @@identity
Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).
I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:
exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?
The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:
User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1
The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.
At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.
I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.
Thanks much,
B

Hi,

I have a USERS database table with a column called IsValidated. It identifies if a user has been validated.
I'd like to know which datatype would be the most efficient for this column.
Our DBA made it a varchar(1) column. Would using int be better?
Please advice.

I have a message box or multiline textbox on my form and I am storing into an SQL DB. I currently have it as a VARCHAR, but that doesn't seem to store the carriage returns. Do I have to store them as a nvarchar, text, ntext or something else to make the returns show? I am pulling them out of the DB and showing them in a label where I replace the with a <br>.
tempMessage = Dr("Message")
message.Text = tempMessage.Replace("", "<br />")

Over the years I have always used the decimal(18,0) as the datatype forprimary keys. Aside from the number of significant numbers involved,would BigInt type be better for performance or is decimal(18,0) still okay.--Don VaillancourtDirector of Software DevelopmentWEB IMPACT INC.phone: 416-815-2000 ext. 245fax: 416-815-2001email: Join Bytes! <mailto:donv@webimpact.com>web: http://www.web-impact.comWeb Impact Inc. <http://www.web-impact.com>This email message is intended only for the addressee(s) and containsinformation that may be confidential and/or copyright.If you are not the intended recipient please notify the sender by replyemail and immediately delete this email.Use, disclosure or reproduction of this email by anyone other than theintended recipient(s) is strictly prohibited.
